Bad habit or thyroid

I can't get up in the mornings again I mean like I physically cant do it I can't make myself wake up and get going.  I have been on Naturethroid for a few months now and have been feeling pretty good until the last few weeks I feel like I did before I started meds can't get up in the morning need a nap in the middle of the day and tired through the whole day.  What the heck is going on?!  I keep having a feeling of my thyroid swelling on and off a couple days it bugs me and then it won't for a couple days.  School is out so I am not having to take my son to school so I keep trying to tell myself its just a bad habbit but jeeze I just can't wake up.  I am trying to get insurance but just have to wait it out until I can this really *****!

I agree with Barb...I think you need an increase but you must have labs first to see just how much of an increase.
FREE T3
FREE T4
TSH

I'm sorry to sound insistent, but we need actual results, along with the lab's reference ranges in order to comment fully.

It's not really enough to say your T3 (was that Free T3 or just T3) is "very top of the range"?  If the lab report doesn't specify Free T3 or FT3, then it's total and really a waste of time and $ because that's an obsolete test.  We need to know the actual result, along with the reference range in order to comment fully.  

Same for the T4 -- Free or Total?  Actual result, with reference range.  

If you haven't had labs for 3 months, a lot could have changed, but you can't know without retesting.  When can you test again?

My T3 was at very top range T4 mid range and TSH Supressed.  But I have not had labs since march/april because of insurance.  I am thinking maybe I need to increase also.

What are your most recent thyroid levels?  Maybe it's time for an increase in med.  

Please post your latest lab results for TSH, FT3 and FT4, along with the reference ranges, since these are lab specific and must come from your own report.
